A lithographic printing plate precursor includes an image recording layer on a support, in which the lithographic printing plate precursor has projections which are discontinuously formed on a surface of an outermost layer on a side where the image recording layer is provided, and a melting point of each projection is in a range of 70&#xb0; C. to 150&#xb0; C. A method of producing a lithographic printing plate includes a step of image-wise exposing the lithographic printing plate precursor to form an exposed portion and an unexposed portion, and a step of supplying at least one of printing ink or dampening water to remove the unexposed portion.

Lithographic printing plate precursor and method of producing lithographic printing plate

A planographic printing plate precursor includes: a support; and an image recording layer which includes a radical initiator, a radical polymerizable component, and a radiation absorption compound, and in which the image recording layer shows two or more peaks of a radical generation amount in a radical generation amount-versus-time curve after exposure to image forming radiation, in which the radical initiator includes an electron-donating radical initiator and an electron-accepting radical initiator, and the radiation absorption compound comprises a compound represented by the following Formula 1.
